Compression-controlled dynamic buckling in thin soft sheets

Harsh Jain, Shankar Ghosh, Kirti Chandra Sahu

We investigate experimentally the dynamic phase transition from compressed to buckled phases for thin sheets of rubber. We find that the rubber strips enter a highly compressed, me…

Atoms to Processes: The Role of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning in Chemical Engineering

Michael Baldea, Linda J. Broadbelt, Marianthi G. Ierapetritou +17

The rapid maturation of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) has catalyzed a profound shift in how chemical engineering problems are formulated, analyzed, and sol…

Asymmetric freezing of a sliding droplet on an inclined surface

Sivanandan Kavuri, George Karapetsas, Chander Shekhar Sharma +1

We investigate the asymmetric freezing of a liquid droplet sliding on an inclined cold surface using numerical simulations based on the lubrication approximation. The combined effe…

Evaporation of a freely floating droplet in an airstream: effects of temperature, humidity, and shape oscillations

Shubham Chakraborty, Someshwar Sanjay Ade, Aman John Tudu +2

We present a comprehensive experimental and theoretical investigation of the evaporation dynamics of freely levitated water droplets in an upward airstream under varying temperatur…

Effect of velocity, fluid properties and drop shape on coalescence and neck oscillation

Manas Ranjan Behera, Hiranya Deka, Kirti Chandra Sahu +1

We perform axisymmetric numerical simulations to investigate the coalescence dynamics of a liquid drop in a deep liquid pool. This study aims to generalize the mechanisms of partia…

Unveiling crown-finger instability of a non-spherical drop impacting a liquid surface

Nagula Venkata Anirudh, Sachidananda Behera, Kirti Chandra Sahu

We present a three-dimensional numerical study of the splashing dynamics of non-spherical droplets impacting a quiescent liquid film, covering a wide range of aspect ratios (Ar) an…
